Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

DO YOU HULU?

There are thousands of new and old television programs and movies on Hulu. Most of the time I share information here and learn that I was the last to know. Forgive me if you are all way ahead of me on this but I must post it in the event you haven't found Hulu yet.

If you miss a show and fail to record it (of you don't have DVR) or if you hear of a new show and want to preview it, simply go to hulu.com and enter the name of the show and 9 times out of 10 you will find the episode you want and be able to play it free right there.

My son had heard of Hulu but never went there because he thought they charged you for membership. That might be something they plan for later, but right now they do not. I guess they pay for this service with the 30 second commercials in the episode and that barely detracts from watching.

MDS (My Dear Spouse) controls our remote on the satellite television so Hulu allows me to simply open my lap top and watch the most recent episode of THE GOOD WIFE (because I don't get CBS at all on my digital antenna TV) or see TWO AND A HALF MEN that we missed last night watching 24.

As you hear me tell of my television shows, my Netflix movies, my Hulu programs, my audio books (and my chickens of course) you may wonder how I have time for housework. All I can say is, "What's that?"

(Yes I do manage the care and feeding of MDS but only when he can tear himself away from the History Channel)

Kay -- Oh yes, I watch Netflix on my computer too. My only problem still is rationing because my satellite only allows me a certain amount of download and upload time each month so I save my Netflix watching for DVD watching.

Judy -- Glad you could use the link. All this "boner" talk could give us a reputation.

My daughter told me about Hulu but I haven't looked yet. I have Direct TV and more channels than I have time for. But now I'm more curious about it, and will take a peek.

By the way, I finally have High Speed Internet as well, and I went with Verizon Wireless. Have had it since mid-November and it's wonderful! A friend here has Hughes Net and pays like 80 bucks and has some problems. I pay 60 dollars for 5,000 Giga Bytes of however you call that, and it's just great. I love it.

Quilldancer -- That is my problem. I am addicted to TV and am not getting much done.

Yvonne -- Can't you get Hulu in England too?

Riot Kitty -- Yes, I think I'll start calling him MDS to his face.

OGO -- Yea! I'm glad that you love Hulu too. I'm about to run out of Netflix movies I've watched so many.

Renie -- I'm very jealous of your verizon wireless internet. Wish I could have that here. As soon as I can get broadband or wireless, I'm leaving satellite. Oh and talk about slush, we are surrounded by mush and slush!

Like your husband, I'm pretty much stuck on the History Channel, Military History or History Channel International.

I have used Hulu in the past to catch up on shows I never watch consistently (which usually means anything other than "24"). They sometimes get to show old movies as well- I saw the original "Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" last year on Hulu. It's very convenient!

About Me

Favorite quote by Angie Worth: "Faith is what holds us together while religion tears us apart."
ABOUT ME: I avoid the news. I have turned off my political upheaval. My days of political activisim are supposed to be over. My hands have been thrown up in surrender and I try to be the best wife, mom, grandma, sibling and chicken farmer that I can be. "I am alive, I am alive by God's grace, I am living in God's care."
